Council Members Comments

This month we have the opportunity to listen to, and ask questions of Mr. Tim Becker, U. S.
Senator Ben Nelsonís Chief of Staff. Lucky for us, Tim has managed his schedule between
Washington, D. C. and Nebraska in order to attend. Mr. Becker has been very active in
politics, serving at the local, state, regional and national levels. He grew up in Lincoln and
both he and his wife graduated from Northeast High School. As Chief of Staff, Tim is
Senator Nelsonís Chief Policy Advisor and also supervises staff and daily operations in
both the Washington, D.C. and Nebraska offices.

With stimulus money coming out of Washington sometimes facts and figures may be passed on
incorrectly, causing misinformation to be repeated by constituents. To eliminate some
uninformed conclusions Tim will address and explain the impact of these federal funds to our
community.

As Lincoln seeks future funding from Congress in 2010 Tim will describe and give details
on the local projects. With a question and answer period this meeting will provide us
a chance to ask pertinent questions and/or have clarification on issues of concern.
